I fully respect the guys who are the, "can't miss" players. Those are the easy ones for scouts and everyone to pick out. It's the kid who really does have what it takes and has not fully developed yet that is intriguing. The players who have that fire burning inside of them to get it done no matter how many people tell them they can't. These are the guys that make a great scout great. And, IMO it is what makes the game so great. "Persistence is Omnipotent." There are many examples. A couple of my favorites are guys like Mike Piazza, or Marcus Giles.

Having said this, the players must have a certain skill set, but these border line guys with a lot of heart and desire are the more fascinating stories to me.
